Ark Angels KIT

ARK Resin Full kit

In late 2003 I had the ridiculous notion that I would have enough time, resource and energy to accomplish a major construction project: a lifesize ARK OF THE COVENANT!!!!

I was a little kid when Raiders came out and the beauty of that prop stunned me. I think the mysterious mythology and Occult connections behind the Ark makes it truly fascinating. I just HAD to make one.

The ark angels (cherubim) are the only part of this ark not scratch-built. I used those castings to draw up blueprints for the rest of the parts. Nearly 2 1/2 years of slinging clay, shaping sheet metal, carving and lathing wood, mixing fiberglass and resin, making molds, gold plating, etc... HERE SHE IS:

**PLEASE NOTE: anything that is described as a KIT means that the artist does absolutely no work to the pieces. They are cast from the mold and immediately set into a shipping box. You will need to trim the pieces, putty, clean and sand all the seamlines, assemble, detail, paint etc..

**Carpentry and modelling skills are highly recommended. The mercy seat is a 2 part thermal formed shell that requires some time and patience to put together.

Here are prices in KIT form.

______________________________________

4 custom made pinecone feet including the bottom ribbing: $150 for the set of 4

If you decide to get ALL the above kit pieces, the price is discounted to $1,249

This base kit does not include the lumber, hardware (bolts & screws) and flat plastic you'll need for the construction. All of those materials can be found at any home improvement center. Measurements for the carpentry phase are provided with each kit.

LUMBER

If you would like all the pre-measured and pre-cut lumber to produce the trunk please include $155. This includes ALL the lumber you will need ready to assemble except the stave poles which you will need to pick up at lowes (8-foot bed posts).

SIDE PANELS

The only other component needed is the flat material for making the smooth surface for the sides. Essentially you just need a flat surface that you cut 'windows' out of that the story panels show through. Styrene, ABS, Masonite, vinyl flooring, etc.. there are a number of options you can find at home depot.

If you would like styrene side paneling from me, please add $125 for all 4 sides, pre cut to the proper dimensions with the windows stenciled into position, you will need a dremel to cut them out by hand.

So that makes it a total of 35" tall when assembled with the lid on the trunk.

The weight (estimated) is around 75 pounds.

****THE ANGELS BY THEMSELVES: 16.5" long from wingtip to the rear edge of the base, 8.75 inches tall from the top of the head to the bottom of the base.

FINISHING SERVICE

For a completely ASSEMBLED ark ready to gold plate, guild or paint, the price is $3,450 (this is delivered in a raw, white surface)

Painted ark 3,850.00

A GOLD PLATED ARK is 5,700. This is achieved through a state of the art goldchrome technique. The finish is absolutely astounding! This price is this high due to the extremely high cost of the gold plating. A gold plated ark is EXTREMELY RARE. There are less than 10 in the world.
